Emotional maturity through no-nonsense spiritual growth.

Is it possible to:

• Realize complete mastery over your thoughts in an hour?

• Use any circumstance, positive or negative, as catalyst for growth?

• Reframe every experience to empower you and accelerate your evolution?

• Navigate tumultuous times with impossible skill and grace?

Absolutely.

With a few simple shifts of perspective, Zachary introduces why emotions are your best friends (they never leave you and always bring to your attention what you need to know), how to identify and shed limiting beliefs as they come up (inquiring into why you’re feeling a certain way), and what to do once your beliefs are brought to light (adopt new, empowering points of view).

By reading this book, you will discover how to use everyday experience to radically transform yourself, develop emotional maturity, shed your limiting beliefs, and accelerate your spiritual growth. This results in less victimization, less fear, more dedication, and more personal power. You will become who you already are.

Master your circumstances by mastering yourself.

When applied with dedicated and sincere intent, the simple concepts in this primer will direct you to understand:

• The biggest mistakes people make with experiencing emotions, and how to avoid them

• The subtle yet specific differences that separate those who master their emotions and those who are ruled by them

• Hidden expectations many hold of increased self-awareness, but never realize.

The mind is capable of wonderful things. But it can only analyze. The intellect cannot join together: it only separates. Any attempt to understand habitually falls to description, labelling, definition, and categorization. Over-reliance on this powerful mechanism creates fear, anxiety, depression, and a feeling of separation.

We are not taught to consciously direct the mind. Instead, the entire architecture and environment of our lives teaches us to invest our sense of self into external objects, situations, circumstances, and events. The habitual courses of our thoughts and subsequent actions is called by many names: trauma, distortion, impurity, and it all comes down to the same thing: Conditioning.

Anything the mind creates, it can destroy. The solution to the near-universal and deeply programmed sense of victimization in human civilization today is to habituate personal agency and acceptance in order to allow the individual to focus on their lives, rather than reliving past scenarios that live on only in the mind, continually projecting happiness and well-being into some imaginary future.

Conditioning provides potent, scalable practices that help you reshape your identity and remove unconscious conditioning.

You don’t need to agree, argue, or accept any of the perspectives presented in this book to get usefulness out of it. I invite you to approach this material with the same open heart that a father has with his child, or two dear friends with each other. I ask only that you take what works, and discard the rest.

In this book, you will first build clarity on the three types of conditioning: social, environmental, and self-reflection. Once you begin to notice these aspects in your own life, you are provided several perspectives that allow you to reframe your thought process to bypass the ego effect by shaping your perspectives in terms of non-judgmental service: either service to self, or service to others. Finally, you will explore the nature of intent and refine your own as you learn how you can realize in your own life an abiding state of flow through surrendering attachment to the outcome of any action that you take.

The most common mistake that the individual makes in modern civilization is to ignore their conditioning. Our past experiences provide us recommendations on how to believe, what to think, and what to do. This book contains simple, powerful, and portable methods and perspectives that will allow you to build a foundation of increased self-awareness and agency, and provide some of the building blocks of a truly integrated self.

If you are interested in exploring more about the nature of Clarity, Service, and Intent, and want to know to further increase your awareness of your conditioning in your everyday interactions, how to use that awareness to transcend your unconscious biases and preconceptions, and how to step forward into a new life, empowered to choose, and free to live in a permanent and stable flow state, purchase Conditioning on June 1st at Amazon, and join The Horizontal Path Facebook group!
